Optiwhite Glass

                       What is Optiwhite™ low iron glass?  

Optiwhite & Float glass

Optiwhite™ is a specially developed float glass which displays none of the slight green tint apparent in most standard ‘clear’ glasses.
Optiwhite™ has superior performance when compared with conventional clear float products; this includes higher light transmission and greater solar heat transmittance.

 

Benefits

  • Reduced iron content
  • Very high light transmission
  • Absence of “green” tint compared to clear float glass

It's not a lot more it does scratch easier than standard. But it's worth it imo even just the front panel. My tanks now acrylic as I didn't want corners on the front but I was going to get a optiwhite glass tank for clarity. The acrylic is clear though

I went opti white on my 7ft and I do think it's made a positive difference

I had opti white fitted to the front panel on the tank you built me. Wish I had the sides done as well? Perfect view of my rays from the front but the side has a slight green tint due to the iron content on the standard glass side panels

I went opti white front and both sides definitely worth the relatively small amount extra

I prefere optic it's far easier to photograph through at various angles. To add I've had no problems with scratches and In personal experience found if you treat it respectfully it won't get scratched.

Iv been thinking about this, standard and acrylic. What would the cost be on a 97''X36"X36"

I have a non branded tank with an opti-white front. The difference for photography purposes makes it a ' NO-brainer! ' for me. Looking to down size & getting some smaller tanx this year, i wont even consider one without (Y)

got standard on mine and can't tell any difference maybe if it was 18mm + then you would tell otherwise imo waste of money. quick phone picture glass is 15mm float.
